MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Sunday's Conference USA series finale between the Tulane and Memphis baseball teams has been cancelled due to inclement weather.

Rain began falling in the Memphis area at around 10 a.m. and did not let up until the game was called at 1:17 p.m. (CDT). Tulane had already won the weekend series against the Tigers after taking the first two ballgames, 17-4 on Friday and 15-3 on Saturday.

From the mound, Tulane posted a 3.00 ERA and held Memphis to a .177 batting average (11-for-62). Green Wave hurlers combined for 21 strikeouts and eight walks in 18.0 innings of work, including 12 punches by junior right-hander Shooter Hunt on Friday.

The Green Wave return to action on Tuesday, April 29, when they plays host to Nicholls State at 6 p.m. at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
